Chapter 4: Didn't We Agree to Break All Four Limbs?

Chu Gang couldn't comprehend why Su Lang had suddenly grown so formidable.

He knew that Su Lang was of impure physique, a condition that rendered the path of a martial artist utterly closed to him.

To never tread the path of a martial artist meant to forever remain an ordinary person, no matter how strong, incapable of contending with the Broken Axe Hunting Group, those who were infused with martial strength.

Thus, Chu Gang's arrogance was unshaken, fully confident that Su Lang would be cowed.

"Broken Axe Hunting Group?" Su Lang's eyes narrowed coldly, and with a brutal twist of his foot, Chu Gang's face contorted in agony, his screams twisting like a windblown kite.

The Broken Axe Hunting Group was a notorious gang in the vicinity, indulging in all forms of wickedness: rape, plunder, and abduction.

Su Lang vividly recalled those two bullies who had left him severely injured and beyond recovery; their earlobes bore the tattoos of the gang!

"Ah, the Broken Axe Hunting Group!" Su Lang seethed. The hate for humiliation, the lust for vengeance combined, fury surged within his heart as he pressed down harder.

"Ah! Su Lang, didn't you hear me? Let go!" Chu Gang, seeing Su Lang's relentless aggression, started to waver, "Quick, let me go; let's consider our grudges settled!"

"Settling our grudges isn't that simple," Su Lang sneered, his eyes glinting with murderous intent. "Considering my parents' past care for you and your subsequent humiliation of me, you'll have to pay for this grudge with your life!"

"No! Su Lang, I was wrong!" Chu Gang, a bully at heart but a coward in the face of defiance, sensed Su Lang's intent to kill and pleaded, terror overtaking him.

"Hmph!" Su Lang suddenly reached out, grasping a black saber from the wall.

"Don't kill me! I know I was wrong, I'll apologize!" Chu Gang, upon seeing the saber, was consumed by terror. "You know that killing within the city is forbidden, a rule of iron; if you kill me, you'll be doomed too!"

"Iron rules are for the weak to follow; that's common knowledge!" Su Lang's lips curled into a cold smile as he slowly unsheathed the glittering blade.

"Young Master Su, spare my life! I... I don't want to die!"

Chu Gang's fear quickly turned into desperation, tears and snot streaming down his face.

"Sparing your life is not impossible," Su Lang's cold blade traced Chu Gang's neck, drawing a thin line of blood. "Tell me everything about the Broken Axe Hunting Group: background, location, member count, strength."

"I'll tell! Don't do it!" Pressed by the long blade, Chu Gang's body went rigid with cold, his hair standing on end.

"I've just joined the Broken Axe Hunting Group; I don't know anything about the gang's background!"

"I only know that the leader is a formal martial artist, and the two vice leaders are quasi-martial artists; very strong!"

"The rest of the members range from early-stage body tempering to peak-stage body tempering, and there are also a lot of ordinary people like me."

"The Broken Axe Hunting Group's lair is in the Jin Guo Building; I've only entered the peripheral Jin Guo Bar; I don't know the core location!"

"I also know that there's an outpost of the Broken Axe Hunting Group outside the city in the F-level Wind Wolf Zone."

"That's all I know; I've said it all; please don't kill me!" Chu Gang finished, his body trembling with fear, tears flowing freely.

"Two members of the Broken Axe Hunting Group," Su Lang described the features of the two villains, asking, "Do you recognize them?"

"I know them, I know!" Chu Gang nodded fearfully. "One is called Dou Zhong, the other Cai Feng! They're both in the body tempering stage, usually at the outpost outside the city. They returned yesterday, and I happened to drink with them all night at Jin Guo Bar. But I don't know why; they left early this morning, took a group of people, and I was unable to participate because of my low rank."

"Good!" Su Lang nodded, and with a swoosh, the saber was sheathed.

Chu Gang instantly breathed a sigh of relief, his body drenched in sweat, looking like a stray dog freshly fished from the water.

But at that moment, Su Lang let out a wild laugh, moving his foot from Chu Gang's head to his other intact arm.

"Su Lang! What are you doing!?" Chu Gang's pupils shrank, his voice filled with horror. "No! Don't!"

Su Lang was deaf to Chu Gang's pleas, and with a ruthless stomp, he ground down.

"Crack!"

"Ahhhh——!"

Chu Gang's scream was as shrill as a pig being slaughtered, tears and snot covering his face.

"This isn't over yet!" Su Lang said with a faint smile, moving his foot to Chu Gang's thigh. "We had an agreement, didn't we? All four limbs must be broken!"

"Please, Sir Su!"

"Don't——!"

"Ahh!!"
